Sorry, the above puzzle is part
of my private collection.
It is not for sale... it is just an example.

The Puzzle shown to the left has extensive
colorline cutting for its size, in addition to a very irregular
shaped edge.

Consisting of about 55 pieces, this puzzle
will give even the best puzzle enthusiast a great one sitting
challenge.

Fun little images like this can easily
be found in art books,

Much like some of the earlier puzzles,
this advanced puzzle is again consisting of a very irregular
shaped outer edge, with pieces of straw sticking out into space.
There is also a lot of color line cutting around the edges of
the plums.

The square BLACK area in this picture is
not part of the puzzle, it is just the background from this
scan.

There is more than one
picture of irregular edge puzzle examples on this page... please scroll down to see the others.
Thank you for your patience while the images load.

This is an example of a
beautiful wooden jigsaw puzzle that I recently hand crafted from
an fine art print. It has an aesthetic appeal, and is quite
a challenge to solve with its intricate and irregular
edge.

Here you can see the edge detail possible
with the use of irregular edge cutting of a picture that is conducive
to this style. Puzzles cut this way are more appealing, and considerably
harder to solve, as there is very little of the traditional straight
edge to guide the solver.

This 155 piece wooden jigsaw puzzle is
part of my personal collection.(Size is 10"H 9"W)

NOTE: The Black border is not
part of the puzzle.
